I hope it is clear, that I only quickly changed the font and background color, and this wouldn't be my "favourite" colours after all :D
I think in general it would improve readability if the background of code-blocks is not grey, as the code parts are separated from the text parts.
For reference:
Influx
MongoDB

Hi @proddata,
on my machine, the cited documentation section looks like this:
I believe it is not that bad. What exactly would you suggest here?
With kind regards,
Andreas.
P.S.: The syntax highlighting is implemented by the fine Pygments package.

Apparently, Pygments implements different kinds of styles already, see https://pygments.org/docs/styles/. Let me know if you would like to see a different one.
[1] lists some pointers to example style galleries for Pygments. [2] hosts a demo page from the Pygments project itself, while [3,4,5] seem to be galleries implemented by others. [5] seems to be the most exhaustive and convenient one.

What about trying out Darcula?

Python
Material might fit with the color scheme 😬
